FEEL BAD HIT OF THE WINTER

DOOM LEGENDS LEE DORRIAN AND TIM BAGSHAW ARE BACK WITH A NEW LINEUP AND EVEN HEAVIER ALBUM FOR WITH THE DEAD. PREPARE TO BE FLATTENED…

WITH THE DEAD

WORDS: ANGELA DAVEY

PIC: ESTER SEGARRA

With The Dead were one of the most exciting acts to come out of the doom metal scene in 2015; a veritable super group featuring Lee Dorrian (ex-Cathedral and Napalm Death), Tim Bagshaw (ex-Ramesses and Electric Wizard) and Mark Greening (ex-11 Paranoias and Electric Wizard), it seemed the trio were geared for success from the moment their self-titled debut hit listeners’ ears. However, disaster struck with the sudden and unexplained departure of drummer, Greening, and the future of With The Dead became uncertain. Fast forward two years and the now quartet are back on fighting form. Enlisting the talents of Alex Thomas (ex-Bolt Thrower) behind the drum kit and bringing in Leo Smee (ex-Cathedral) to play bass, they’re now looking forward to the release of second album ‘Love From With The Dead’.

About Terrorizer Magazine

Every month when it comes to writing this editorial, I sit back and tot up how many new records I’ve listened to in the time we’ve worked on getting this bad boy to the printers, and then I contemplate just how many more we’ve got to sift through for the upcoming issues as well. I literally lose count every time and for that I’m thankful. Never does it stop being fun listening to music each and every day.
For me, Terrorizer also gives an opportunity for some of those bands to talk about their creations and the stories behind them. These are aspects that to me are as equally as important as the music itself. The written word can then bring those stories to life and that, in essence, is the importance of magazines and why they are still relevant in a social media driven world. Life isn’t just a soundbite or a meme and neither is music, so being able to share the stories behind Myrkur’s stunning new album or the dark, personal journey behind Akercocke’s brilliant ‘comeback’ album is vital. I hope you enjoy reading the features as much as I did when they landed in my inbox. Alongside those two pieces, as always there’s a fuck load of awesome bands featured and the odd controversial review to boot. It’s been a blast to create the issue and we’re already hard at work at the new one so we’ll see you very soon! Stay tuned.
